## What it is
A minimalist starter template combining Next.js, React Three Fiber, and Three.js for building 3D web applications. It provides a persistent canvas across page navigations, synchronized DOM/3D rendering via the View component, GLSL imports, Tailwind styling, and PWA support.

## Use cases
- start a Next.js project with React Three Fiber and Three.js
- build a 3D website with multiple WebGL views on one canvas
- create a performant 3D landing page with high Lighthouse scores
- scaffold a React 3D app with Tailwind or styled-components
- render 3D components inside any DOM element while navigating pages
- set up a PWA with WebGL 3D content
- import GLSL shaders in a Next.js project

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made, optimized Next.js + react-three-fiber setup
- you need multiple 3D views sharing a single performant canvas
- you want a persistent canvas that survives client-side navigation
- you value a minimal, well-architected starter with strong performance metrics

## When to avoid
- you are not using Next.js or React
- you need a full 3D game engine rather than a web starter
- you prefer a different styling solution than Tailwind or styled-components
- you need server-side rendering of 3D content
